Rules: If you're tagged you must list 6 random facts about yourself - 3 true 3 false, so people can guess which are which. Then tag 6 people to do this meme.

I won't be tagging anyone (I'm too lazy)--if you want to do the meme and haven't already, then feel free. Also, there might be a bit of truth to some of these just to make things harder.

1. I've been in an Order that requires me to not be around "others" when eating.

2. The first time I went to the snow I only had a t-shirt on.

3. I was married for a while when I was younger.

4. I was once selected to go and recite Shakespeare to the senior teachers.

5. I won a telly without even trying for it.

6. I've been asked to help collect teachers names for my school reunion.

I think I might be getting a touch superstitious (in the nerdiest way, of course). I had a meeting yesterday, so when dressing I reached for a pair of red socks, thought of the meeting, and quickly switched to blue so as not to tempt fate.

Another trip to Empire today - a little something I noticed last time in the DVD department, and since I checked again and still no sign of a region 4 release, bought a Beavis and Butt-head set they had (just what I need to help me stay up for Justice League). Oh! Rachel, maybe you'll be wanting to look up B&B in your big book of guilty pleasures now? :lol: I also found a copy of Serenity : The Official Visual Companion at last too (almost didn't see it - if I hadn't been looking at a shelf I don't normally pass by). Of course I haven't read it yet, but yay nice looking visual content that doesn't demand a certain program to be able to see anything at all.

Now, a little something stolen from most everybody:

( My past lives )

So, to regale all with great tales of coolness about the past week!

*crickets chirp*

Oh! The lawn has been successfully mown. Let the growing commence!

Yes, quiet week coupled with blogger's block, spent getting some paused tasks completed, more training, and wondering how I can get away with going on two week's holiday by emailling boss when I've already started.

Oh, and dolphins. Of the kind who have one possibly surfacing on the far bank of a river, then suddenly have a trio pop up right next to the bridge. And bunnies, once again guest starring at the local shops.

I'm told a couple of weeks ago when the great leader *rolleyes* was in Perth, he visited the new ABC Centre across the street from work - people saying about the security and all around there. Now, this strikes me as fairly odd, since this PM and cronies have always been criticising the ABC so I'm thinking his visit may have gone something like this: "Nyeh eh... you lot don't do a very good job! You're all biased against me! :emo tear: *mutter* I'll show you all by cutting your funding again, you buncha hippies!"

Interesting - the refit of the old St John Ambulance building in Wellington Street is finished - it's now a Youth Hostel - I sometimes walk past here (depending on mood), and saw them refitting/extending the building, until a couple of weeks ago I passed on the bus, and there it was, big banners and signs in amongst the old St John's signs declaring them open. I must say they couldn't have asked for a better location (unless they wanted to take over the old Greater Union cinema) - they're not kidding when they say the train station's two minutes away on foot - the city centre's just a block across and a block down. About as great a location as the Oxford Circus Youth Hostel where we stayed in London (well, the equivalent, unfortunately I can't just walk into the Perth YH and walk out onto Oxford Street...)

I found out what the still-preserved facade (or rather, portico) at the new Law Courts building was called - in a street directory all of four years old it's called the St. George Hall Theatre Memorial - now that I have that I find that it was the first theatre in Perth, its first performance being held on December 4th 1879. So that's one little mystery solved (at least, solved before the construction is completed).

( It has a six in it, but it's not six thousand. )
